Note: Currently the development support for this project is limited; there hasn't been any commitment from the ns-3 project as a whole to maintain this version of ns-3. So expect bugs and delayed response to queries.
Please use this google-group for queries and feedback.

Project Goals

To reduce or eliminate the need for CygWin to run NS3 on Windows operating-systems

To expose native Windows API to NS3 developers

To integrate NS3 into IDE's such as Visual Studio 2010

To integrate NS3 into IDE's such as Visual Studio 2008 (Stretch Goal)

It is envisioned to develop an application which can open a Windows Console or a Windows GUI based on user selection via the command-line.
At least one sample Windows GUI will be provided. Here is an example GUI:

The MPI-related examples have an associated Makefile, to help build them.

Distributed simulation is run with the aid of "Open MPI". As Open MPI's "mpirun" utility requires a console application, distributed-simulation needs to be a console app (i.e Windows GUI components won't be available).
